When Stanley Kubrick died in 1999, he left behind a final film: "Eyes Wide Shut." While Kubrick had finished shooting the movie ( after an astoundingly long 400 day production ) and delivered a cut, a question lingered: How final was this cut, exactly? The honest answer is we will never know. We can take guesses, though, and Kubrick, who was an obsessive perfectionist , had a reputation for tinkering with his films right up until release — and sometimes even after, as both "2001" and "The Shining" were recut following initial screenings. Kubrick fans and obsessives are all but certain that had he lived, his version of "Eyes Wide Shut" would probably not be the same version that's available today.
